OBJECTIVE To evaluate the different localizing electrodiagnostic techniques of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE), particularly, comparison of the sensitivities of long segment stimulation across the elbow, versus short segment stimulation. METHODS Patients who were referred to the Neurophysiology Laboratory of Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey between ...

Management of long bone defects occurring in accidents or war injuries is a difficult problem, From 1978 to 1986, 11 patients were treated for long bone defects of the humerus ( 10 cases) and radius (one case), using free vascularized fibular transfer by microsurgical technique .The patients were followed for 4 months and in all of them, selective angiography and scanning revealed exellent...

Purpose: Radial head resection and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) are the traditional techniques for the treatment of radial head fractures (RHFs). The existing literature has not identified which is superior. We performed a meta-analysis of the current literature on excision and ORIF for RHFs to reach a relatively conclusive answer. Methods: A search was performed in PubMed, OVID,...

The morphometric parameters of the head radial bone are relevant for manufacture its prostheses, often in literature only average sizes given without taking into account individual characteristics their ratios. With insufficiently accurate selection used prosthesis radius, complications arise. To prevent development complications, size implant must exactly match anatomical shape and proximal ep...

Elbow dislocations are a common orthopedic injury, but the ideal reduction method remains elusive. The complex trochoginglymus anatomy of the joint, along with the close proximity to neurovascular structures, makes the elbow a challenge to reduce. Elbow dislocations occur at a rate of approximately 6 to 8 cases per 100,000 individuals and account for 10% to 25% of all elbow injuries annually.1 ...

Activities of the elbow flexors and extensors during the movement of the elbow flexion and extension were analyzed in six normal human volunteers by electromyography (EMG). In the flexors, the majority of the muscles showed EMG activities during both the flexion and extension phases, although patterns and amplitudes of EMG activities varied from individual to individual. The biceps brachii alwa...
